The
17-year-old videographer Anas
al-Tarsha regularly filmed clashes and military movements in the city of
Homs in Syria, and posted the footage on YouTube. On February 24, he was killed by
a mortar round while filming the bombardment of the city's Qarabees district,
according to news reports. The central city had been under attack for more than
three weeks as Syrian forces stepped up their assault on opposition
strongholds.
